Abstract

Abstract This photo essay provides a visual archive of Parsi philanthropic efforts toward the Iranian Zoroastrian communities of Yazd, Kerman, and Tehran during the 1930s. The essay reproduces a collection of photographs from a photo album produced by the Iranian Zoroastrian Anjoman (est. 1918) for the benefit of Parsi audiences in Bombay. These photographs were taken and compiled by administrators of the Parsi-funded charities in order to demonstrate to Bombay-based Parsi benefactors how their charity efforts were being used inside Iran. The essay also discusses the importance of including visual archival material as part of the social and cultural history of modern Iran, as well as the unique sets of challenges that such archival preservation represents.

从孟买看:20世纪30年代的伊朗琐罗亚斯德教相册

这篇摄影文章提供了20世纪30年代帕西人对亚兹德、克尔曼和德黑兰等伊朗琐罗亚斯德教社区的慈善努力的视觉档案。这篇文章复制了伊朗琐罗亚斯德教徒Anjoman(1918年)为孟买的帕西观众制作的相册中的一组照片。这些照片是由帕西人资助的慈善机构的管理人员拍摄和整理的，目的是向孟买的帕西人捐助者展示他们的慈善努力是如何在伊朗境内被利用的。本文还讨论了将视觉档案材料作为现代伊朗社会和文化史的一部分的重要性，以及这种档案保存所代表的独特挑战。
